Did NOT see that coming. Waiting for Circa's tweet to come out. Have also heard draft kings line is 17.5 

OOF 

USC -21 at Colo

5 points more than the opening line at Baylor?

Definitely a difference in playing at home versus on the road. 

That plus they may expect a ton of action on the Texas side after looking good yesterday, vs how they looked against Wy before heading off on a road game. 

18 seems high. I could see 10-12 maybe.

THE KIDS ARE TOUGH!!! BRING ME LOU HOLTZ 

Seems about right.  I was thinking 17.

I kind of expect a long run and throw from Daniels. Our defense won’t go unscathed. 
 

34-28 feels about right. Garbage time time touchdown from Kansas to make it look closer than it really was. 

their strength is offense

we should run run run

new time rules = lower scores

i would take the under at 66 but i don't bet

but that seems high

also draftkings was guessing -23 at 9am

texas money knows better at -18

fuckery potential alone is worth -13

18 points?!?

But the Big 12 is a juggernaut of talent rich schools.

That's why other than Texas and OU, Kansas is the only Big 12 school currently ranked.

The new time rules are only amounting to 4 less snaps a game.  Don't place a bet thinking there will be 2-3 fewer drives.

My impulse to put my entire 401k, equity in my house, my 1994 Land Cruiser and my entire cash and equity savings on Georgia -14 at Auburn is exactly why I don’t bet.


Ore St -2½ Utah

I buy it with Utah’s QB situation.

Leave out the cruiser…. Worst case scenario you can sleep in there

Notre Dame laying just 2 at Duke is interesting. 

Great spot for Duke catching ND at home after that big game against Ohio State.

That line stinks to high heaven. Auburn's OL and QBs are absolute trash.

Every week in the SEC is a meat grinder, sips have no idea what they’re getting into. /ag

It feels like more. One thing I know is that I haven't seen a single onside kick yet and we're headed to week five. I don't know why the new clock rolls would affect on sidekicks, but it seems like they are. Anybody know where to look up the stats? It'll be really interesting to look at the year over year change.

Auburn's entire secondary is injured too. I'm definitely throwing some money on that game even though Georgia hasn't looked great. 

Feels like the line should be double that. 

it's been a pretty satisfying season so far

like a choice ribeye from the grocery store you got on sale

it's not perfect, but it's still a delicious fuckin' ribeye

I think this is another over reaction after the under reaction from us not winning by 30 against WY but doing so against Baylor.  

I would love for us to win by 3 TDs, but I think Kansas has a decent defense. 

if the line was 11.5, I still think Kansas would cover.  I think Texas wins by somewhere from 7 through 11

Vegas hasn't read the surly thread, or it would be a pick 'em.

Only because Texas is at home.

Onside kicks happen in close games, which don't happen often in preseason.

  • Through Week 3 in 2023, games involving at least one FBS team are averaging 176.20 plays. Through Week 3 in 2022, the same average was 182.32 plays per game.

I heard it was at 4 snaps after this week, but haven't seen it as an official stat published yet.

The math is: Every first down trims about 5 seconds off the clock (you are really only saving the time that it takes to set the chains).  The average game has 34 first downs outside of the 2-minutes drills.  So 5*36 = 180 seconds lost.  180 seconds / 20 secs per play (historical avg) = theoretically 9 plays.   I'm going to completely guess (because there's no stat for this) that around 25% of first downs are out of bounds, so more like 6-7 plays lost.

I think we still haven't seen the new meta for how fast or slow coaches will go at 8 minutes vs 6 minutes vs 4 minutes.

The average drive is 7.5 plays.

Most updated power ratings have us 20-22 pts better than the KU. Throw in the standard 3 pts for home field and there ya go. They don't just post numbers for shits and giggles, 18-19 is what the computers say the line should be. 

Those beers were doing work earlier. The 3 points should be added to the spread, not taken away

I’m with you- that line is dumb.

 

18 seems right to me. Fuck Kansas

This is a good point....still would be a fun graph to see over the course of this year.

I will say though, the last times in my memory where we were 18 point favroties at home: last year v Iowa State when we were lucky to get out with a win, and the Maryland game..
